What Is VP Harris's Problem?

 If you sat down with a dozen people....the chatter would go to a minimum of ten problems/issues.  Some revolve around maturity (the lack of)....some hit on skill sets (she has few to really demonstrate), and some would involve personality traits.

But once you define these....then what?  Can you remake VP Harris into someone totally different?  I just don't see how.

I think in the summer of 2019....touring Iowa and trying to get people pumped up over her candidacy for President, nothing much happened.  She'd give a marginal speech...shake hands, and then talk to her insiders about how wonderful she was.

Joe Biden being given a list of ten-odd people (all women and all of color) was then led down a pretty crappy path.  I'd offer the opinion that if he'd just picked Mayor-Pete.....things might only be half-as-bad as they are today.  (Was Mayor-Pete that qualified for the job?  No, but VP's are typically chosen to just sit in the background and not be noticed)

What happens to Harris in 2022?  More or less....the same crap.  Staff #2 is being recruited now, and I expect most of them to be gone by the end of 2022.  Maybe Biden could do everyone a favor and put Harris on a nuke-sub for 90 days of patrolling....to just have her off the front-page.

Movie Review

 Over the weekend, I watched Netflix's 'Don't Look Up' movie.  I will strongly endorse watching it, but not for the comedy.

So, it's basically a copy of 'Deep Impact' with one little difference.....they take the reality of news, politics, and crisis management of 2021, and make the suggestion of someone trying to save humanity from a asteroid hitting Earth....a joke.

As much as scientist try to make the government aware of the threat....it's all controlled by normal everyday American style fake politics. 

Maybe it tries hard to convey humor and comedy, but about halfway through it.....it's gone to the extreme of reality.  It's not that funny in the end.

So I'll recommend a viewing but it probably won't comfort you in the very least at the end.
